Amorous Swedes to Get Emergency Condom Deliveries
Tue Jun 1,10:50 AM ET Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo!
STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - A Swedish aid organization will roll out a new line of defense to the country's emergency services next week -- the condom ambulance.
From Friday, June 4, amorous couples can call the telephone number 696969 and a white van featuring a large red condom with wings as a logo will deliver them a packet of 10 prophylactics.
"We need to increase the usage of condoms," said Carl Osvald, marketing manager for the Swedish Organization for Sex Education, the non-governmental organization behind the initiative. "It is 50 percent about pregnancy and 50 percent about sexually transmitted diseases."
The ambulances will operate in Stockholm and the southern cities of Malmo and Gothenberg. The service, aimed at young people, will run until June 25 and be available between four in the afternoon and nine at night.
A packet of 10 condoms will cost 50 crowns ($6.72), less than they cost on average in the shops.
The incidence of sexually transmitted disease is increasing rapidly in Sweden and not enough young people use condoms, Osvald said.
"We need to change attitudes to condoms," he said. "If we need to get out in to the bedrooms to make things better we will do it." |

Haha. It seems like we are challenging for the one of the top spots on the "Neocon-groupies most hated countries list" around here. It took fire after that art exhibition. The French will be hard to defeat though. ;)
Anyways, I think its pretty strange as I regard Swedish people to be one of the most America friendly in Europe. Oh well.. |
